Some people seem to figure out their career plans while in the K-12 education program, and others get into college and even go through college without having a definite idea. Neither is wrong, but I was reminded while looking through some old high school memorabilia that I fit into the former group.
Here is a picture of a page from my high school planner from the 1996-97 school year when I was a Junior. While leafing through the booklet I found this doodle, and by doodle, I mean a short C++ computer program called 50 to a bus, written by hand, which theoretically takes as input a number, and as output tells you how many buses it will take to load of that many people, assuming 50 people fit on a bus, and also noting how many leftover people will need to travel in vans. I guess I had something against using less-than-full buses. How environmentally conscious of me!
Now I don't remember whether this was actually a homework assignment for the one programming class I had in high school, or if this was just me passing some downtime time during a study hall. Let's just say that I also remember sitting in my dad's office in my middle school days, studying the MS-DOS 5.0 operating system manual with great interest.
For some reason Amy couldn't help laughing uncontrollably when she saw this page in my planner.
